    Converting a Fresh Water Tank to Salt Water

    I have a 75 Gallon Tank that I had African Cichlids in. Water was running with a ph of 8.1 and Alkalinity of 300ppm. I have a fluval 304 cannister and a cascade hob and a aqua clear 50 power head. I would eventually like to set up a sump or just sell the cannister and hob and get a sump for...

    Are Micro Bubles Bad?

    My tank has been up for a couple of months now. The bubles come from my HOB filter when the water level gets lower and sometimes from my aqua clear power head. Im thinking of getting a koralia or something other than the aqua clear to move my water around.

    Lighting question

    Im new to reef too. I bought a sent of power compacts for my 55 gallon and found that T5's are more efficient for me. Bulb replacement is a lot cheaper with the t5 vs pc's and it still gives me the ability to grow what I want in my tank. I found this site to me very useful. Lots of great...

    New to Saltwater, invert question

    I lost half of my snails to the crabs. little crab taking down the big turbo. I think I only have 1 turbo left. I had 4 in there a month ago. I wish they told me that at the lfs. I would have just gone with the snails. nausarius seem to keep my sand bed clean.

    Mixing Ocelaris with Sadle Back Clown

    I was thinking of just adding one more black and white or saddle back. I know if I added a pair it would out number the ocellaris I have in right now. Maybe its just wishful thinking on my part.

    Are Micro Bubles Bad?

    I have seen threads on micro bubles before but not really clear on if it is bad for the display tank and if it is why is it bad. I have a 55 gallon tank and get some micro bubles in the main display that comes from my aqua clear 50 power head. I have the power head 3 inches from the surface...

    Mixing Ocelaris with Sadle Back Clown

    I wanted to get some feedback. I have a 55 gal mixed reef tank with an ocelaris (spelling) clown. It is currently hosting an rbta. I am not interested in breeding them but would like to add either a black and white clown or a saddleback to my display tank. I have about 60 lbs of live rock in...

    question about a clown fish

    I bought a clown and a GBTA from my LFS. The clown was in the anemone so I pretty much bought them as a pair. The GBTA found its happy place in the back of the rocks so this clown never goes by it. I put an RBTA in my tank that found its happy place on the front display side of the rocks and...

    My 1st Saltwater tank--New Setup

    Im new to the hobby too so I'm going to ride on this thread. When you say power filter is this hang on back or a cannister? I'm running both on my system. sumps are still a little intimidating to me.
